For an existing system, ext3 is much easier. All you need do is add a journal with tune2fs, change the /etc/fstab entries and reboot (or just remount). You do need to use the 2.4 kernel as 2.2 doesn't support ext3. I've not used reiserfs on Debian, but I did have some corruption issues on SuSE (which may of course be resolved now it was a year or so back).
